Vintage Japanese Book on Hand Dying




I came across this circa 1932 Japanese book on Shibori and dying on  Naomi no Kimono Asobi's photostream on flickr. She has scanned the whole thing, which is 57 pages long and is beautifully illustrated. Naomi has a slew of vintage kimono images here.

From the Family Archives: Little House in the Woods







These pictures were taken in the mid 70's of the house my father built for us in rural Missouri. We moved away when I was 10. The house is in a wooded corner of the farm that belonged to my Grandfather. My Aunt, her sister and my cousin live there now.
